Haven't you tried to "force open" the FCP XML with FCE, it used to work, I don't have this machine with FCE anymore (the version was FCE HD) but that worked fine. You should probably use XML version 2 with your FCP export. For the other way round (FCE to FCP) you don't need XML.

From what I know the iMovie exported XML is the FCP XML interchange format, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Due to the difference in functionality between FCP and FCE there obviously won't be complete support for all the features, but for shared functionality this shouldn't be a problem.

It would seem that a plugin for FCE that could export FCP XML would be very beneficial and not that difficult to do, is there anyone working on something like this? Or is this something that Apple may be planning for a future FCE release, it would fit with their policy of interoperability between the products. What do you mean by long version? Do you mean not supporting nested sequences? Andreas Kiel wrote: You can't export XML out of FCE, but FCP can open FCE files. FCE does not officially import XML, but you can drag a XML to the FCE program icon and it will import the XML as long version and used effects etc will match. I'm interested in the compatibility between the project/ timeline formats of Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro. If they are both XML is it possible to share the files between the two applications and if not is there a simple conversion tool (Bi-directional)? I'm not talking about sophisticated LiveType or Motion functionality, just basic timeline editing with simple common filters and transitions. As I'm aware that there are some functional differences between the two applications. Thanks, Simon... _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
